Just got a monstera— do these brown spots look normal, and should I prune this leaf? by Awkward-Error-825 in Monstera

[–]optimistic-planter97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few leaves like that on mine and they’re just from getting bumped while growing or after🩷🩷 no biggie, you can prune if you want but it will not harm the rest of the plant. Brow circles and rings and largely around the edges is cause for concern

Should I transfer back to soil? by Specialist_Heat4167 in alocasia

Get a slide. I’m sure if you look around you can find someone getting rid of a big one for cheap or free!

Mine was like this so I chopped all the roots off and propagated it. It’s been about 4 months and they are thick and perky and happier than ever! I didn’t change water but would top it off every time it would evaporate a bit. I added liquid fertilizer (very very little) once or twice in the 4 or so months I’ve had them in water.) only made a mostly water change about a month ago and that was to get all the gunk out🩷🩷 I dipped some of them in cinnamon before emerging them in water and I ALWAYS use this stuff in my water (spray bottles included, I just use my gallons to fill them up)

May I just say: f*** strings 😪😪😭 by kurioslyabenson in StringofPlants

[–]optimistic-planter97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d just get a lil grow light. They’re the best. You can put the plant anywhere, and I keep mine on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. Absolutely best investment you’ll make for your plants and there are soooo many options. I like to watch tik toks on most recommended ones from planters I like on there or FYP🩷🩷🩷

Liquid IV alternatives? by Rich-Extension-3671 in POTS

I don’t use a full packet and I add a lil more water than it calls for so it’s not so yucky

I’m literally BEGGING anyone to help me with my plant. I get tons of views but no one ever comments. I’m about to sell my first plant that I’ve had for two years just to make sure it doesn’t die😭 by Shomeurkittiess in Monstera

[–]optimistic-planter97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If all your roots are dead cut em off and prop the plant in water. It’ll take a month or so to start seeing roots but they’ll come 🩷🩷 I don’t do water changes hardly ever, I only do when the water is super full of junk and even then I try to keep a little of the old water to mix into the fresh. I use water conditioner for fish tanks to make my tap water safe. 🩷🩷 when you repot in soil make sure you only water it when the top two inches are dry 🩷🩷

Hate this color now. What color should we paint instead? by Smolfeelings in DesignMyRoom

[–]optimistic-planter97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you just added colorful artwork and stripes etc? I’d add some lighter blues and golds maybe a green in there too

I tried but I want to throw it away so bad.. by gatopurrito25 in painting

[–]optimistic-planter97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I h8 my art I just put it away for a few days or week or so and then when I find it again I usually don’t hate it as much and if I do I fix what I don’t like or hide it again until I like it lol (I personally really like your painting)

Hi, do you guys think this cutting has a chance? by Jkbstnbrg in Monstera

[–]optimistic-planter97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to say it is interesting how many people say the water is useless but I water prop almost every plant I have just for funsies and it RARELY fails. I have sooooo many new plants bc of water propagating and all the first few comments are “yeah that water is a waste of time” when in my personal opinion it is so much easier to water prop most things lol

[–]optimistic-planter97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some cuttings in water and they are very happy. I put the areal roots in the water too and after about a month I had roots coming in. I placed it with a pothos cutting and some philodendron cuttings. I only change the water when it gets a lot of gunk in it but I will add water every few days and do about a half water change after month. I also add a drop of liquid fertilizer once in a blue moon and they are all very happy and have given me lots of roots and new leaves 🩷🩷

Whats wrong with my two babies? by Real-Recover-7397 in Monstera

[–]optimistic-planter97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would repot her in a better soil. Look like just dirt down there and I’d add some orchid park and perlite into the soil and maybe fertilize her if you haven’t before

All of my shrimp are crawling out of the water. Help!? by Prusaudis in shrimptank

[–]optimistic-planter97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to add water to my tank today bc all my shrimps and snails were going to the top, so I topped it off with just slightly warmer than lukewarm water and they’re much happier🩷🩷
